Mind the Gap Synapse Necklace

Tiffany Ard

Thinking Gal's Jewelry

Over-think accessories the fun way with nerd-tastic pendants decked out with science class doodles. Handmade by self-proclaimed nerdy husband-and-wife team, Tiffany and Kevin Ard, its pattern illustrates the synaptic gap between brain cells.

"Everytime you think, learn, talk or remember, your brain cells send a signal from one to the next like a supercharged row of dominos," says artist Tiffany Ard. "Every time a cell receives a message, the information crosses the synaptic gap!"

Inspired by Ard's Nerd Flashcards. Handmade of sterling silver in Georgia. Each comes with a card describing your science jewelry.

By junior high, Tiffany Ard was a self-identified nerd. "I was too afraid of being hit by a ball to do sports, too shy to be a theater kid, too unpopular to be one of the popular kids," says the illustrator and science enthusiast. "The kids I spent time with liked writing stories and inventing languages and pretending to be time travelers." When she had a child of her own, Tiffany realized there were plenty of toys designed to make tots smart and successful—but dorky for the sheer fun of it? Not so much. Her Nerdy Baby line fills the (cosmic) void. "The best gifts invite open-ended play and make kids feel empowered to experiment fearlessly," she notes. "If they happen to learn some fun science facts, all the better."

It doesn't look anything like the picture. It is larger than advertized, curved severely, and the features are larger and clumped together. It might just be the one I recieved, but it is disappointing that the artist can't keep it consistent.

Service and delivery comments:

Very well timed delivery, sooner than expected.

Gave this as a gift for a dear friend who works in a neurosurgeon's office and she LOVED it. I was thrilled to find it. This, like all the Uncommon Goods items I bought, is unique, beautiful and well made.
